To say that DSZ did not play a vital role in bringing me where I am now, a student in a prestigious German university, would be a lie. The problem a lot of us Malaysian students face is that we deadlock ourselves in typical, tried, and true options – either going to a national university, or applying to popular education destinations like the UK, USA, or Australia.
DSZ was my bridge to study in Germany, known for its cutting-edge engineering, world-class education and strong economy. DSZ provided information through seminars and their own personal sharing that gave me the full scope of choices and possibilities available, while also giving me clear directions on what I had to do next. DSZ’s wealth of practical experience and knowledge was key in navigating the bureaucratic flood of forms and procedures required.
Through DSZ’s partner German language schools, I was assigned German teachers from the A1 to C1 levels over the course of 8 months where my patient and encouraging teachers helped me build my self-confidence in speaking and understanding German. Learning a language from beginner to university level in such a short amount of time was a difficult task, but with well-planned, intensive, and rigorous lessons, I passed the C1 exam, and was able to proceed to university!
Now, as a student at the reputable Technical University of Munich (TUM), I have to attribute no small part of getting here to DSZ’s guidance. Without their initial push and efforts to make my integration into Germany as smooth as possible, I wouldn’t have been able to gain the momentum that led me to where I am now. As a member of the TUM Hyperloop team, there is clear enthusiasm and drive in student clubs and research projects as we receive sufficient funding from the university.
I owe my thanks to DSZ and I hope they are able to help more Malaysians, who yearn for something more, find their way to Germany.
